Q: What should I do if I smell gas in my Charmhaven home?

If you smell gas in your Charmhaven home: don't use any electrical switches or open flames. Open windows and doors to ventilate. Turn off the LPG bottle valve if safe to do so (the valve is on top of the bottle). Leave the property and call your LPG supplier's emergency line or 000 if you cannot shut off the gas. Once the immediate risk is managed, message Alljack to get quotes from licensed gas fitters who can locate and repair the leak and issue a compliance certificate.

Signs You Need a Gas Fitter in Charmhaven

You can smell gas near an appliance or bottle cage

The smell of LPG (similar to sulphur or rotten eggs) near a gas appliance, flexible hose connection, or bottle cage means gas is escaping. Turn off the bottle valve if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and get a licensed gas fitter out to test and repair the leak immediately.

Installing a new gas appliance

Connecting any gas appliance — cooktop, BBQ point, gas heater, LPG hot water system — to an existing or new gas line is licensed work in NSW. DIY gas connections are illegal and invalidate home insurance. A licensed gas fitter must connect, pressure-test, and certify all appliance connections.

Gas appliance not working properly

A gas cooktop with weak or yellow flames, a gas heater that won't stay lit, or an LPG hot water system that's slow to ignite can indicate a regulator issue, blocked burner, or a problem with the gas line or flexible hose. These all require a licensed gas fitter to diagnose safely.

Missing or out-of-date gas compliance certificate

NSW law requires a Compliance Certificate for all gas fitting work. For rental properties in Charmhaven, landlords should ensure gas installations are certified — no compliance certificate means no proof the installation is safe and legal, which creates liability issues at tenancy end or in the event of an incident.

LPG bottles emptying faster than expected

If you're getting through LPG bottles significantly faster than normal without any change in usage, you likely have a slow gas leak somewhere in the system. A gas fitter can pressure-test the entire installation — from bottles to appliances — and locate the source.

Charmhaven-specific gas considerations

With no mains gas available, every gas-using home in Charmhaven relies on LPG cylinder supply. The coastal environment — salt air and humidity near Budgewoi Lake — accelerates corrosion of flexible hoses, gas fittings, and regulators. LPG hoses and regulators have mandatory service intervals under AS/NZS 1596, and many homes in the area have equipment that is overdue for replacement.

LPG regulators 10-year maximum service life under AS/NZS 1596
